Ingolstadt edge battle at the bottom

Cottbus - FC Energie Cottbus remain rooted to the foot of the Bundesliga 2 table after a 2-1 home loss to fellow strugglers FC Ingolstadt.

The visitors took the lead their dominance deserved early on when Brazilian forward Caiuby struck, but a terrific header from Ivica Banovic pulled the hosts level just before the half-hour mark. A fiercely contested tie appeared to be heading for a draw, but Ingolstadt managed to haul themselves clear of the relegation zone when Moritz Hartmann made Cottbus pay for some sloppy defending by tucking home a 77th-minute winner.
